Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen scored on his emotional return to Parken Stadium, where he suffered a cardiac arrest during a UEFA EURO 2020 match in June.

The Brentford midfielder played as team captain and contributed to Denmark's 3-0 win over Serbia in a friendly match on Tuesday.

The 30-year old player netted his second goal in two matches since returning to Denmark.

Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest during a EURO 2020 clash against Finland in Copenhagen's Parken Stadium on June 12.

He underwent a successful operation and was discharged from the hospital on June 18.​​​​​​​

Eriksen did not make an appearance for Inter and his national team for several months before joining the English Premier League side Brentford on a free transfer during the winter transfer window.

As a three-time Dutch champion with Ajax, Eriksen helped Inter win the 2021 Italian Serie A title.
